The technician who visited said that my system was looking for a difference in temperature in the exhaust flue and that because the water had built up in the condenser effectively sealing the ignition chamber, the ignition gasses were not able to escape and it was these gasses and temp change...

Thanks for the reply Tony and a lesson learned re service. I bit the bullet and contacted Glow Worm who have been been out and now resolved the issue. Cost wise the initial quote was for £285 one off to resolve what ever is causing the problem including replacement parts, labour etc. with the...

Thanks Mikey, I had the guy who fitted the system over and it was him that checked a number of things including the condensation sump. I have an outstanding call with him again to ask if there is anything else he can do or it requires a glow worm technician. If I have to go down the...

Point taken... Does anyone have any advice on what can be done now rather than retrospectively!

soooo seems that my problems are not over...unit behaved fine for 24 hours but them repeated the cycle of F4 or F22 errors. When the unit fires up there is an odd sound from the housing, im assuming its silencers...essentially it sounds like you would expect a wind passing across the top of a...

Ok so I have the above unit and a while ago it developed a fault coded as F22 - low water pressure or ignition temp rise too slow. A couple of resets and the issue went away only to return a week or so later, reset and repeat for a couple of weeks then the fault error became... F4 -...

Ok so its been a while since this issue has bugged me enough to look into it again but that I have. I picked up a burner key from the espares or someone like that, removed the pan stands and using the key removed the part of the gas spreader that is mounted above the base of the unit...

Have it cleaned professionally too, its a cost that can be passed on to the tenant and means the unit will have the best chance of surviving. A clean can then be done on every tenant exit. OvenU are very good, a little more expensive than others but ive found that its worth it as they take...

All the holes in the gas spreader ring are clean and clear. The flame is strong, blue and touches the thermocouple when on. As per the photo i admit the caps are dirty but then they have been a nightmare to keep clean from the start. Going back to my original post, as the burner takes 3-4...

I'd have to do some testing but I've no reason to believe it isn't. The pan is placed on the pan stand which does some few millimetres above the thermocouple, can't see why the flame would be disturbed by this. I will look into it tomorrow and see.

No there is a definite click from the control knob then it all goes off. From what I understand this is the safely cut off but I have no idea why this would happen only when pan is placed on the ring. If i dont put a pan on it will burn away quite happy.

Not sure why Ive been moved to this section but lets see what happens!!

Hi, Been a lurker here for a while and found some good solutions...after a quick search I couldnt find anything covering my current problem. I have a 5 ring gas hob (Smeg P75 72cm)... the problem is a number of the rings light eventually (after 3 or 4 goes) and keep burning. However as...
